To toast the achievements of Canadian athletes — and only Canadian athletes, unless they’re feeling philanthropic — Molson Canadian (a beer company partially owned by Coors) has installed a Canadian-flag-red refrigerator in the Canada Olympic House filled with its sweet, sweet mass-market lager. The catch: You can open the fridge and grab a free beer only by scanning a Canadian passport, reports USA Today.

If any of you non-Canadian Olympians are really jonesing for a Molson, remember you can brandish any country’s passport to get into Quebec, where you can get a 24-pack for about $20 (Canadian dollars, of course).

The rest of you can watch this video starring the fridge while your Canadian friends are getting a nice buzz on.

Last I checked, a few hours ago, Canada was leading the medal count. I’m pretty sure they’ll be using it to celebrate and not “drowning their sorrows”! 😉

Unfortunately no US based company is giving anything free to American citizens, even if they did they would try adding a Obamacare/Koch Brothers donation fee to it then go on Fox News to say how Obama was forcing them to support citizens.

The whole point (and you can check the Molson Canadian website to confirm this) is to seek out a “Canadian friend”. It’s not meant to be just for just Canadians. Watch the Molson beer fridge commercials.. Takes a min of your time and doesn’t make this article look like it was written by someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about.
Why didn’t you do fact checking first before explaining about how 2 nobodies are “not impressed”? FACT CHECKING!

This article is horribly written. Watch the video then you will understand the point of the fridge.

Mike Livingston on February 13th, 2014

My Canadian friends would drink for free.lol

Carrie on February 13th, 2014

I love this idea- but then isn’t it like bribing people to become friends with Canadians? 😉

Daggybee on February 13th, 2014

The whole point to the fridge, is to say that Canadians are friendly,…so, how about making friends with a Canadian and they will scan their passport and share a beer with you! Not mean spirited, but of course the media had to interpret it that way

I tip my hat to Molson’s. This has to be the single coolest marketing strategy I have ever seen! Good on them for putting a fridge in the village!!!! We Canadians are super nice and would gladly share a drink with those who would like to get to know us!
Well done. Keep up the amazing work Canadian athletes! Drown you sorrows…no…Celebrate because you’re at the Olympics… ABSOLUTELY!

Wow People, how nice of you to take a beautiful, fun idea and make it sound selfish and rude. (“Canadians, and Only Canadians”). Check the video and try to understand the purpose of this.

Heather on February 13th, 2014

Poorly written article – it almost seems quite passive aggressive.

Canada604 on February 13th, 2014

Wow, what a horribly written article?! What does this have to do with the McKayla Maroney or Ashley Wagner? Quit trying to make the “not impressed” thing happen again!

Also, this brand of beer can be purchased all over Canada and some beer stores in the US, not just Quebec!

Dee on February 13th, 2014

This is way cool! Canadians are known for the friendliness……what a great way to show it!!

GO CANADA!! Proud Canadian!! Why don’t the Americans try making friends with other countries, then they can have some beer!

Go team Canada…GO TEAM EVERYONE!

del on February 13th, 2014

This story is nearly a week old. Way to stay on top of things, People.com!

Goggles~a~Pisano on February 13th, 2014

Someone pass Heather a Canadian. The true Olympic spirit is about lovin on one another ❤ ❤ ❤

Dulce Mae on February 13th, 2014

Go Canada! Love the commercial, truly shows how most Canadians are giving and that we try to extend kindness! How pathetic that Americans try to twist things into something it’s not!
Shame on People Mag for this article for turning it negative. Americans are rude and sore losers, case in point –>Ashley Wagner!!

Goggles~a~Pisano on February 13th, 2014

Find a Canadian. Down a Canadian. Let’s be friends! #befriend #sportsmanship #brotherhood #peace

I don’t like beer but I think it is a wonderful idea of encouraging friendship between country’s . Find a Canadian and get to know them over a drink. Canadians have always been known as friendly and this shows why. The Olympics are a perfect venue for this fridge with all of the different country’s in one place.

Greetings! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!

I simply wanted to write a remark to say thanks to you for all the nice solutions you are writing on this website. My incredibly long internet lookup has finally been compensated with reliable facts to exchange with my good friends. I would assume that many of us readers are extremely lucky to be in a superb network with many special individuals with beneficial concepts. I feel extremely happy to have encountered the webpage and look forward to many more thrilling times reading here. Thank you again for a lot of things.

I believe this is one of the so much important information for me. And i’m satisfied reading your article. But wanna observation on few basic things, The website taste is ideal, the articles is really nice : D. Just right job, cheers

Hey very cool site!! Man .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I will bookmark your website and take the feeds also…I am happy to find so many useful info here in the post, we need develop more strategies in this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .

One other thing I would like to convey is that instead of trying to match all your online degree courses on days that you end work (since the majority people are worn out when they get home), try to arrange most of your sessions on the week-ends and only a couple courses for weekdays, even if it means a little time away from your end of the week. This is fantastic because on the week-ends, you will be extra rested along with concentrated in school work. Thanks a lot for the different suggestions I have mastered from your weblog.

I do accept as true with all the concepts you have introduced to your post. They are very convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too brief for novices. May you please lengthen them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
